[English]

My character’s like half and half. Who knows?

A public figure’s striving life. Who knows?

Abstaining from large cravings. Who knows?

Always out of breath for daydreaming. Who knows?

Wanna cry in peace, I know

Wanna party like crazy, I know

Wanna be fluttered with love, I know

Ye I know I know I know, Cause Me

Y’all must’ve been caught like fish

In a net called ‘desire’ with thirst in life

Common psychological escape

Even I can’t swim out of it

Not, a reality refusal

discontent, misfitting

Ain’t none of that

Love ma rule

For once I want a different picture in my life

That I want to draw, a canvas dream

Beyond that boundary line over there

Let’s feel it

Like the hole Alice fell into

Like the road that leads to Hogwarts

It’ll be a world of mirages

And it’ll be all mine

It’ll be exactly how I imagined

But it won’t last forever

Shit

Wishing on a Sky

Wishing on a Scar

If there’s the sun

I’d want to dream

Wishing on a Sky

Wishing on a Scar

If there’s the moonlight

I wouldn’t want to wake up

My

Daydream Daydream

Daydream Daydream

Last

Day dream Daydream

Day dream Daydream

So what I get drunk

Until I go crazy

So what I go out

Don’t think about work

Let’s just feel the youth

Young Wild and Free

Wild and Free

Let me give it a try

No eggshell walking Errday

I do what I want with my feelings Errday

A love-expert sniping the heart when you fall in it Errday

Work out on my desire without a formula Errday

Ignore my character Errday

Wanna cry with no shame Errday

Dream list, the first priority

With no concerns on money

Deep sleep

Beyond that boundary line over there

Let’s feel it

Like the hole Alice fell into

Like the road that leads to Hogwarts

It’ll be a world of mirages

And it’ll be all mine

It’ll be exactly how I imagined

But it won’t last forever

Shit

Wishing on a Sky

Wishing on a Scar

If there’s the sun

I’d want to dream

Wishing on a Sky

Wishing on a Scar

If there’s the moonlight

I wouldn’t want to wake up

My

Daydream Daydream

Daydream Daydream

Last

Daydream Daydream

Daydream Daydream

If you ask me back

Why I dream

I’ll sound like bragging

I’ll put it down for a minute

To match my mechanism, Stay

I’ll say that I’m getting some rest

What’s this What’s this

Diving in the daydream all the swimming is for me

like this like this

All my footsteps and my fantasy

If I want something

If I want something Now

If I want something

If I want something Now

That’s a Daydream

They dream They dream

That’s a Daydream

Daydream Daydream

Wake up
